Emergency Room Errors

Injured by an ER Mistake? Call Our Medical Malpractice Legal Team!

Injuries and illnesses can arise unexpectedly. While people schedule doctor
appointments for checkups, emergencies cannot wait. That is why we go
to the emergency room (ER). Given the volume of patients passing through,
the ER is inherently chaotic. Doctors and nurses pass from one person
to the next, trying to diagnose and treat. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention estimate an average of 136.3 million people annually visit
the emergency room in the United States. If a hospital is not well staffed
or physicians not well trained, serious injuries and
wrongful death can occur.

If you were injured because of an emergency room mistake, our
Dallas medical malpractice lawyers can help. We have years of experience protecting the rights of victims.
We take the time to get to know your case and provide the representation
you need! To us, you are more than just a client, you are family.

Common Emergency Room Errors

Because of the sheer mass of people vying for medical attention, emergency
rooms can be overwhelming. The average doctor is estimated to spend approximately
11 minutes with a patient during a routine visit. With the number of patients
emergency room staff must attend to, it is easy to make mistakes and errors.

Such mistakes can lead to severe injuries. Misdiagnosis and wrongly read
tests can result in strokes, heart attacks, worsening side effects, and
more. If a doctor is not careful, some patient may die because of negligence.

Causes for ER mistakes include:

Overcrowding

Understaffed facilities

Lack of equipment or resources

Not checking patient’s medical history

Fatigue

Neglecting patients or making them wait too long

Lack of training

Do You Have a Case?

In order for a case to hold in court, the plaintiff must show that they
sustained serious injuries or their loved one wrongfully died because
of an emergency room error. They must also prove that the doctor, medical
staff, or hospital was the reason for the damage. If this occurred, you
may be eligible to seek compensation for a medical malpractice suit.
